HOW TO TAKE 'IT Among 'the greatest dangers'in modern aerial', warfare the 'book- let says, are high altitude flying, centrifugal. force, and the strains. of long hours. in the air. Flyers are warned against , eating beans andother'voluminous foods prior to high altitude flights as they tend . to produce .stomach .'gase"s which may. .become dangerous• over 22,000 feet but on long flights they are advised to carry unsweetened chocolate and tea which stimulate the brain by. `in- creasing its' blood supply." Tltey are also urged to seek plenty. of vitamin C which prevents the in- ' flammation of the gums that re- sults in losing teeth during power dives. So perfect must the blood and eirculaforh system. be 'to with- stand the sudden directiopal changes that often make the blood .feel heavier than iron that even -marked reddening of the skin resulting from exposure to the sun should be avoided al- though a proper tan is alright. Red skin is a sign that the. ,cells.. have. been damages and poison-. • ons substances are being carried into the blood stream to- diminish. the resistance to altitude and. centrifugal force. 'A . forward crouch is considered the best' .;position • to resist centrifugal. froce while fighting. GREASE SHIELDS SKIN. As a further means of protVet- Mg the skin pilots of open cock- pit planes\ are • 'advised; not to shave Or wash the face in soap and water, practices which "re- move ' the greasy: coveringthat shields the skin against ultra-- , violet rays which are particularly ' potent at high altitudes. Tumblingand other acrobatics are. the .. best training for para- chute landings' while every flyer ` who can increase his vision by the use of glasses is advised to do so. Lieut_ .Col. A. A.

' Radio Pillow- In illowIn many hospitals patients are supplied with radio headphones, but these necessitate sitting up or a position that mss not be en- tirely comfortable.1 A -new radio pillow, invented by an Australian and row- in use in ,an Adelaide hospital, does away with this.

HEALTH TOPICS Take It Easy; Save Your Nerves We want to he energetic and peppy all of the e, and never feel lazy or tir• We have a notion that :he • as y and happy people. never ecome fatigued. The truth is that they do get tir- ed periodically, but know ;how to rest and recuperate. They exper- ience normal, not chronic fatigue. • Normal, fatigue is good. It is part 'of normal, healthful living. It may be recognized by a' general tiredness of the body, which is not unpleasant and which may be , dispelled by rest and sleep, and by • increased nourishment. Every- one who has known the ,joy of hard work has known the joy of normal fatigue.:. _ ' If mea and women would omy accept normal fatigue- as an ac- companiment of work or • effort, and would get the necessary re- cuperation through rest, more serious' formsof fatigue would never develop. Life would then .. be balanced.' BREAKS IN 'ACTIVITY Plan for' at least •two breaks in activity during the. day. Dur- ing each break, just stop doing everything for five minutes. Don't talk. Don't, think. .Just sit with your head drooping. forward toward your knees. Or, 'better yet, 'lie on the floor' with your' • feet propped up on a chair.
